I have two, one 33 litre one I use for mountain marathons and the like and an 11 litre one I use as a 'handbag' as I always cycle everywhere. They do a 22 litre one as well, inbetween those two. They are sturdier than the OMM and Inov8 running/racing packs (which I also have), have a lovely harness, are very comfy for running in but are just that much more of a rucksack, with shoe and helmet compartments/clips and lots of zips and pockets. I have had mine for years and they have had a fair bit of abuse. Not cheap, but worth the money in my view...
